The School Counselor
Through the Utah College and Career Readiness School Counseling Program Model, school counselors implement a standards-based, data-driven school counseling program to address the needs of each student. Effective collections, analysis, and use of data ensure school counselors are accountable for personal performance and program implementation. Program performance and accountability measures are foundational in the work of school counselors and systemic change.
